Ezone, w/o a doubt owns them all when it comes to quick, absolutely no stickage service and delivery. Between amazon prime and them, I can order something Monday evening and have the order IN MY HANDS on Friday morning.

i use CSF couriers in chaguanas
same speed u described with ezone
i order somethin monday with amazon prime and friday i hav it no stickage wat soever

^Aye cap how much extra that amazon prime thing costs you? kept seeing the offer but never took it up as I don't order stuff regularly

isnt it around like 70US for a year of amazon prime and u get free 2-day shipping on ur stuff ?
cant remember d exact price but it worth it if u order stuff online alot

Amazon Prime is 79 US per year. It entitles you to 2-day free shipping on items
that come from Amazon themselves, and 1-day shipping for $4 US.

Totally worth it.

Correction in yellow

Definitely worth the money. Order something Monday and get it in your hand as soon as THURSDAY via one-day.

JSL on the other hand knows which customs officers are cool and waits for their shifts to clear things. Obviously, this introduces lag time and on top of that, they does REAAALLLLLL stick to create invoices for stuff and VERY often TWO weeks after stuff reach in trinidad they now get around to deliver. Also they pick and choose thir delivery days and places. A real nightmare if u want something in a hurry. No yearly membership fees and very low freight costs though.

So there u have it. If like me you want ur stuff asap, ezone ftw but set aside $$ to clear and ship. If u come out cheap, fine. If not, you're prepared. If ure not in a hurry, jsl ftmfw.

Hmm JSL has duty skillz you say. I wouldn't mind giving them a try when ordering high duty items, would not mind a lil wait if it save me from total duty rapage....
They got a website? No annual fees sounds good too for such infrequent use.

I was wondering about the ability to receive money via paypal. I've got a confirmed address and may need to collect money from US companies. I checked the Paypal site but it doesn't look like Trinidad is on the list to receive money. Anyone had experience with receiving $$$ via paypal?

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #289 on:** January 11, 2010, 10:21:19 PM »

Not sure about recieving money. That would be some nice info.

Just another bit of information, my dad bought an Omnia II and paid $280tt last week with JSL.

Needless to say my jaw dropped when I heard that.

woodyear99 · « **Reply #290 on:** January 12, 2010, 12:03:50 AM »

Wow JSL slow delivery times might be worth the wait yes. I wonder how much it would cost to bring in a 360 with them....hmm.

Edit: Got an email from Paypal and they said it is not possible to receive money if your country is Trinidad.

Hs anyone heard of DealExtreme.com? hong kong megasite that sell just about everything and offers free shipping to adresses worldwide via hong kong post office standard email?

Well i get ketch

My eyes lit up and i order 5 items one time the most expensive being about 85 USD and the four others mid range in USD i order since november 2009 and not one france come yet.
i ordered one item and used a california PO Box address that i have as a test and the order reaced the po box in 11 days with free reg airmail shipping so i know is not a bogus website.

so now i stick bad anybody had an experience with them? i am now to-ing and fro-ing with them to get some refund so far they have resent the first order but i so damn stupid i didnt change the address to the cali po box heh, i could laugh but it real F Up.

i will have to be in dey ass now to get them to re send the other 4 orders and i will ahve to use the cali po box and then have my gf who up there fed ex the shit to me.

as norcal ppl would say HELLA Bad

So yeah be wary of free worldwide shipping especially on dealextreme

I only deal with Hong Kong merchants via ebay. Lets just say their new feedback system keeps everyone honest. I've never had a problem with them since.

haterforever · « **Reply #293 on:** January 14, 2010, 03:58:43 PM »

thats some hard luck man, as arc say the most risky i use is ebay, and after double analyzing their feedback. i don't even spend much on stuff from hongkong as its more than likely inferior quality. hope you get through with the refunds
